LCS meeting Wednesday: We’re ordering pizzas, chips, and soft drinks for the next meeting, this Wednesday, February 17th, 5:30pm in Warner 126. Sign up at the doodle so we have enough food. We’ll plan a big social event for spring and need everyone’s input. Also, I’ll preview Honors courses for next fall and get your input on ways to improve the program.
We expect all Honors students to be active participants in the Laurel Collegiate Society, the student organization that plans Honors activities. For students who are on the cusp when we review records for remaining in Honors, engagement will be a deciding factor. Because I know some of you will simply not be able to be there on Wednesday, I’ve scheduled a second meeting for Feb. 22 (Monday) at 3:00 pm . Pick one or, if you absolutely cannot make either, email me and we’ll figure something else out: http://doodle.com/poll/enhebzcfvz6pd5r3
Free tuition for May: Students enrolled full-time in spring may take up to 3 credits in the May term (first four weeks of summer)—tuition-free. Psychology is offering a Honors Embedded course—worth considering if it fits your schedule. Before classes begin, email Dr. Weiss if you’d like to take the course for Honors credit. For other options, look for the courses listed as 4-week courses in the summer schedule: http://newark.osu.edu/CLARK/NWK%20SU16.html. Email me if you have questions about Honors embeds.
English,History, Kinesiology are also offering May courses (check Buckeye Link of the campus schedule for 4-week options).
